THE REVIEW

Back To The Primitive: Classic "made in Soulfly" song, starts with a tribal style and towards the end it develops with guitar, bass, drums, and vocals. Additionally, live it is a spectacle.
Pain: Interesting song, but perhaps a bit too repetitive. Noteworthy is the presence of two guests, Grady Avenell (who is he???) and Chino Moreno (Deftones), who perhaps make the track better. The chorus is extraordinary, where all three alternate their voices divinely.
Bring It: Nice track, with an excellent chorus. Extraordinary, here the vocals (as always, by the way...) of Max Cavalera.
Jumpdafuckup: Sung together with Slipknot's leader (Corey Taylor), it's my favorite of the album. The lyrics are simply wonderful and the riffs are damn spectacular. Jumpdafuckup!
Mulambo: The semi-rap verses ruin the song's majesty but it remains quite enjoyable. The beginning is amazing, with a child imitating the sound of a train (choo choo, you know...) and then the guitars go where they need to go...
Son Song: Here too, there is a guest. And who is it, you ask? SEAN LENNON!!! Yes, the son of the famous Beatles leader John Lennon!!! Despite his overwhelming presence (which ruins the whole song, in my opinion), the track is enjoyable, but only due to Cavalera and the rest of the Soulfly... the lyrics are moving, as Cavalera “talks” to his deceased son, Graziano. In the album, it's written that the song is also dedicated to John Lennon... anyway, let's move on (and why start Back To The Primitive at the end of the song?)...
Boom: Nice song, but perhaps not as "rhythm smashing" as Back To The Primitive or Jumpdafuckup.
Terrorist: And here we do have a distinguished guest, good grief: Tom Araya, the renowned voice of Slayer!!! The track is fabulous, with slight thrash influences. Excellent percussion parts, great track.
The Prophet: The initial riff is beautiful, the drum sound here reaches its peak. My second favorite song.
Soulfly II: Classic Soulfly song that highlights the tribal music of Brazil, Max Cavalera's homeland.
In Memory Of...: The only track that truly falls flat. The rappers present here (who also have very long names) make the song bad, and you can really hear little of the guitars and drums here.
Flyhigh: A song that redeems the previous mishmash and concludes the album worthily.
Primitive:

Many wondered if Soulfly, with "Primitive" (released in 2000), would achieve the same success as their previous work, "Soulfly" (1998). Perhaps not, but there's no doubt that "Primitive" is an album that every true metal fan should have. Fantastic, as usual, Max Cavalera, with his powerful and more enraged voice than ever, but credit also to the other band members (even if they change constantly...). Excellent production by Toby Wright (already producer of the awful “Follow the leader” by Korn).
